#1 I'm drunk and wired.
#2
#3 I found about a years worth of Human Communication Research Journals and in that was this: Sugaring the Pill: Assessing Rhetorical Strategies Designed to Minimize Defensive Reactions to Group Criticism
#4 I bet you can see where I'm going with this.

What does this have to do with me?

Excerpt "Australians are racist."

So I'm going to try and prepare you a report of their report that is not TL;DR

I found an abstract online, but don't feel like purchasing the full article. I'll just wait on your report.

People are considerably more defensive in the face of group criticism when the criticism comes from an out-group rather than an in-group member (the intergroup sensitivity effect). We tested three strategies that out-group critics can use to reduce this heightened defensiveness. In all studies, Australians received criticism of their country either from another Australian or from a foreigner. In Experiment 1, critics who attached praise to the criticism were liked more and agreed with more than were those who did not. In Experiment 2, out-group critics were liked more and aroused less negativity when they acknowledged that the problems they identified in the target group were shared also by their own in-group. In both experiments, the ameliorative effects of praise and acknowledgment were fully mediated by attributions of constructiveness. Experiment 3 tested the strategy of spotlighting; that is, of putting on the record that you intend your comments to apply to just a portion of the group rather than to the whole group. This strategy—which did not directly address the attributional issues that are presumed to underpin the intergroup sensitivity effect—proved ineffective. Practical and theoretical implications for intergroup communication are discussed.

Absolutely, these rhetorical strategies become less affective the more people understand them. Most peeps these days don't understand how to think critically and thus leaving them open to attack by those who do, the restrictive nature of obamacare has made what should be the golden era of trolls a ruddy bronze.

Nonetheless we should commit to a new bot that matches the variety and frequency of the actions of an average user. Imagine flooding a forum with bots that are specifically designed to scan a forum and automatically post and reply in the most inflammatory manner possible all without giving away their true nature. Structuring the Artificial personality and equipping it with matching rhetorical heuristics, it's really all art.

You could have an army of phoebesoflulzec or messyjessies. Or even better an army of SugarBMOs descending on a forum engaging in a vicious cat fight with anything that has a .

Your instincts are on the money. Autists communicate robotically along a rhetorical map that has been drawn out before the conversation even begins. To a degree this is true for everyone but especially so for autistics because of their ridged systematization and lack of empathy which usually results in mindblindness.

The idea isn't a question of artificial intelligence, but one of artificial personality. With proper development we are talking about creating a swarm of bots that are indistinguishable from live users.

It's like soundboards for bots, yes it's not as good as a skilled troll manualing all this but it should create a similar payoff for limited effort.

Rather than countering facts he uses the same ad hominen to avoid reality, in his mind he "wins" arguments online despite the very different experience of others. This is an example of mind-blindness and subsequently why The Member Formerly Known As Baya is, without question, a virgin.

You're an admitted autistic. You've never met me. As far as any reasonable person is concerned you have no intellectual authority.

Oh bayarage. I've never said I was autistic, if your referring to my sig it's making fun of the stupidest insult I've ever gotten. No one met Chris Chan and yet no one needs to in order to know he's autistic, and as far as any reasonable person is concerned you're a mentally disabled basement dweller who can't work, leaches off of his parents while lying to them, and bitches about government taxes despite paying none and collecting benefits. BTW despite your rationalizations to the contrary, you are using the government to steal from hardworking people; those foodstamps have to be paid for by somebody.

yeah it seems nobody understands that The Member Formerly Known As Baya will increase his post count
by writing extremely short contrarian sentences and then arguing them
in any way possible to keep them going for fifteen pages.

im pretty sure he does it intentionally just to keep people arguing for as long as possible.

And what the fuck do you think I do it for? Well I do it for many reasons but right before my likes outnumbered my posts I got in 4 arguments with him at once AND I started spamming shit in the spam thread trying to keep that from happening before my medication wore off and I quit caring.
